I don't know know what I expected Henry's funeral to be like.

I guess it was because I never really expected him to die in the first place.

Everyone at Butch who weren't on lock down or considered to be too dangerous were required to attend his funeral.

Also, his family apparently never answered  the main official's phone call because they weren't here to be in charge of the funeral.

Which ultimately meant that they as well as the hospital had no idea how he fell off the staircase. No one had the guts to snitch on Drassik, not even me.

The hospital surprisingly did a good decorating job though, considering the fact that they had a limited selection of decorations and the setting was outside in the woods.

For decorations if it was sharp, shiny, and or small enough to choke on or choke someone with, it wasn't allowed.

" Maya, please come up and say a few kind words." Henrietta's stank voice called out to me from behind the podium closest to Henry's coffin.

The hospital thought it might be too traumatic for us "unstable" kids to see an open casket so everyone was stuck staring at the mustard yellow that decorated the entire coffin.

I really didn't wanna go up there but I knew arguing with Henrietta wouldn't make it better.

As I walked down the pew of chairs, there was some mildly familiar faces looking back at me but majority wise I barely knew anyone here.

" Testing, Testing, one two three. " I tapped the mic to prepare for the very long spew of crap I was going to spit.

I took a deep breath. " Today is a very sad day for everyone here in Butch. Even those who's hearts weren't touched by Henry's love and care are saddened by this sad turn of events. "

I looked up to make eye contact with some of the people in the pews.

" And even though I've only known him for such a short period of time I can honestly say that he was a great young man

who had his whole life ahead of him. Only correct guidance and positive attitudes can set him free. Henry, I hope you are happy wherever you are and that you know that you are loved."

" Bullshit." Drassik Devine was smack dab in the front row.

" Excuse me?" Henrietta screeched from beside Henry's coffin. Oh shit.

" You heard me." He was smiling like a Cheshire cat with his legs crossed.

Henrietta looked as if she could burst at any given moment. " I want you to go inside this instant!"

She pointed her long painted pointer finger in the direction of the buildings entrance. Her face was so puffy and red I though it would burst.

Drassik scoffed. " Please, save the theatrics. Everyone one knows you were fucking him behind his girlfriend's back. Isn't that right Penelope?"

Well damn.

Pigtails or Penelope (I guess) was livid. " How dare you! I don't have any idea what your talking about. My boyfriend would never do anything like that. He loved me!"

Drassik chuckled. " If he loved you why would he have matching infinity tattoos with someone else?"

Henrietta paled.
